Safaricom Kenya has deployed Nokia’s AVA Energy Efficiency software to achieve lower power consumption and costs over its 5G, 4G, and 3G networks.
The rollout, covering approximately 30,000 5G, 4G, and 3G cells, is expected to lead to planned network energy cost savings of 8-10%, and follows the recent successful completion of a pilot program with Safaricom Kenya.
Nokia AVA for Energy uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to shut idle and unused equipment automatically during low usage periods whilst maintaining customer experience; this is done in conjunction with Nokia Radio Energy Efficiency features.
Nokia says it is engaged or completed more than 50 energy saving projects with CSPs.
